What are their thoughts about Nick and his relationship with Stan?

honestly, i think at first, Ford would be a significant part of helping Stan and Nick get together or at the very least get Stan to realise he had feelings for Nick, thinking he was an alright guy, even somewhat smart (in his own way) and a capable shipwright.

Later on, when coming back to Gravity Falls, Dipper would at first be kinda sus on Nick and his past, finding the fact that he talks about historical figures like he knew them personally (along with other things) weird and not really liking that stan and nick was a 'will they won't they' type thing. Dipper would get Ford on his side about It and it would then devolve into at least half a season of Nick messing with them, feeding them fake information until someone just asked him outright and him happily giving over the information.

but i do think it would end up being a "we just want stan to be happy" type of thing and the 'Nick Investigation' would be out of love and not wanting stan to get hurt.

The second one is...a lot more obscure--I don't think I've met a single person in my age group that knows this band--but supposedly it was fairly popular when my parents were growing up? ...but the song is Песня о Москве ("Song about Moscow") (I've linked the anniversary version 'cause I like the vocals more, but the original is also nice cause it has a more interesting instrumental methinks ✨)

The melody is quite simple and romantic, but the lyrics (I couldn't find a half-decent translation so I had to write my own TuT) are the real star. The way it compliments various features of the city like its a person just gives. SUCH "Stanley complimenting his walking talking celestial body" vibes

(...because how much of a difference would it really make, loving just a city or loving an entire universe? a single human is seemingly insignificant to either...yet it loves them all the same...)

If you've read this much THANK YOU FOR GETTING THROUGH ALL THE YAPPING <3 'cause I know this one is pretty chonky and...weirdly self-indulgent for an askbox post now that I think about it HDFDFHJDFHJFHJ

dont apologize for yapping! i love being yapped at about nick, it is the best part about posting things of him!

no joke, jinkx was one of the drag performers I took a lot of inspiration from when I made Nick! but you are so right about cartoons and vodka, it fits nicks drag persona very well haha- and oh yeah they would def sit down to watch something on the tv 'after hours' and Nick, who is the most awful type of "oh i love that outfit" and "do you think he would like babba?" movie watcher and would somehow get stan yapping during the whole thing as well so they wouldn't know what is going on in the plot half the time.

I now gave Stanford an ex friend that is a nature spirit connected to water. Perhaps down the line able to become friends again and the best friends type.

your celestial silver fox has. absolutely changed my life (or well--the last couple of months, at least HJDFHHJDF) I just can't get enough of him he's gorgeous <3 <3 <3

I was wondering - does Nick have any specific drag names/personas he performs under when he is--well, doing drag--or does he still go by Nick? :3

haha Celestial Silver Fox is probably my new favourite way I've heard to describe Nick, and I actually really struggled with his drag name when I made the recent poster of him-

I really wanted to give him something fun as a drag persona and struggled to decide on just one, which is why I also kinda hid the runner-up names in the final piece, But for now, I've settled on Miss Nico Teena as the name he uses in drag. (tho I have to admit it was a tight run between that and Carmen Monoxide!)

some posters(?) of nick and stan I've made bc apparently that is something I want to learn how to do now and all I can draw is them

thank you! I've gotta be honest the reaction to the animatic has been so wild. I never thought other people would be so interested in my silly little oc! (also, I don't mind the use of the word queer at all! )
